Climate Change

Shaklee has taken consistent steps to reduce our climate impacts and help find solutions to the climate crisis. It's one of the ways we work toward a better future.

Shaklee Corporation is the first certified Climate Neutral Company in the world, having earned that distinction back in the relative "dark ages" of voluntary corporate climate action in 2000. In our ongoing efforts to minimize our negative impacts and maximize our positive impacts, Shaklee purchases 100% renewable energy, renewable energy credits, and greenhouse gas emissions offsets for worldwide activities.

Given the increasingly rapid rate of climate change, and understanding that these changes are taking place more quickly than the best science predicted, Shaklee has aligned its vision for a better future with its day-to-day and long-term business activities.

Shaklee's 2015 Carbon Neutral Protocol

Shaklee is carbon neutral. The greenhouse gas inventory for 2015 covering all Shaklee operations worldwide including the US, Canada, Japan, China, Mexico, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Indonesia was reviewed by a third party, WSP Global, in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol for all six Kyoto-defined greenhouse gases. Shaklee set operational boundaries for the inventory of its worldwide greenhouse gas emissions and calculated the carbon footprint from Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The total amount of Shaklee's greenhouse gas emissions from worldwide operations in 2015 was measured and converted to metric tons of CO2 equivalent. Shaklee has partnered with 3Degrees and Renewable Choice Energy to offset its small carbon footprint in North America and Asia with funding for alternative energy projects and carbon offsets. The projects include Green-e certified renewable energy credits and landfill gas utilization projects in the United States.

What We’ve Done

Shaklee 2015 Global Location-Based Emissions

Emissions Reductions

From 2000 to 2015, Shaklee reduced its U.S. GHG emissions by 36%. Some of those reductions were achieved through consolidating our distribution and maximizing distribution efficiencies. Others were a result of targeted efforts to conserve water, gas and electricity in company-controlled facilities. Shaklee plans to continue to offset 100% of its greenhouse gas emissions while simultaneously working toward an additional 10% utilization reduction.

Reduction Portfolio

Shaklee plans to continue to offset 100% of its greenhouse gas emissions including all new and expanding offices worldwide. Additionally, Shaklee continues to look at ways to reduce its footprint. Some of the projects Shaklee implemented in the recent past include:

Resource Conservation

Responsible resource use and conservation are part of Shaklee's founding belief that the health and prosperity of people and the planet offer the greatest hope for a better world.

Energy and resource conservation are a significant component of realizing that hope. Shaklee has reduced and continues to work toward further reducing its footprint by using energy and resources wisely. In addition to offsetting 100% of our greenhouse gas emissions, the company works to reduce its consumption of electricity and gas as well as materials use through reducing our packaging, reusing shipping cartons, and utilizing post-consumer recycled paper.

Carbon Neutral Offset Projects

Shaklee's 2015 carbon neutral protocol

Shaklee is carbon neutral. The greenhouse gas inventory for 2015 covering all Shaklee operations worldwide include US, Canada, Japan, China, Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia and Taiwan, were reviewed by a third party, WSP Global, in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol for all six Kyoto-defined greenhouse gases. Shaklee set operational boundaries for the inventory of its worldwide greenhouse gas emissions and worked with WSP Global to calculate the carbon footprint from Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The total amount of Shaklee's greenhouse gas emissions from worldwide operations in 2015 was measured and converted to metric tons of CO2 equivalent. In addition, Shaklee has worked to voluntarily comply with the new Scope 2 guidance, measuring both market-based and location-based emissions. Shaklee has partnered with 3Degrees and Renewable Choice Energy to offset its carbon footprint in North America and Asia with funding for alternative energy projects. The projects include Green-e certified renewable energy credits (Kansas wind projects) and a landfill gas utilization project.

Solar-Powered Lighting Installation

Sri Lanka and India

Less than 25% of the populations in Sri Lanka and India have access to electricity. Solar photovoltaics offer a healthy alternative to extending the power grid or constructing fossil-fueled power plants. Shaklee supported a project to replace kerosene lamps, diesel generators and batteries with solar photovoltaics in Sri Lanka and India. Over the 20-year lifetime, one household 35 watt solar photovoltaic system will prevent more than six tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere.

Malawi, Africa

Shaklee partnered with Dr. Jeffrey Sachs and The Earth Institute at Columbia University to install solar-powered lighting in African villages. This project provides a sustainable energy resource to remote areas and also supports the 2015 United Nations' Millennium Development Goals. The installation of solar-powered LED lanterns in 2007 replaces inefficient and unhealthy kerosene wick lamps and encourages renewable energy sources as a sustainable model. For the villagers, this will have a tremendous impact and provide the means for increased productivity, higher earnings potential, and expanded hours for education.

Wind Energy

Shaklee supported construction of The Rosebud Sioux Tribe Wind Turbine Project–the first large-scale Native American owned and operated wind turbine. The 750 kilowatt turbine was installed by Native Energy on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in South Dakota.

Shaklee also funded wind turbine projects in Oregon and Texas to fulfill its commitment with the US EPA Climate Leaders Program to offset all of its greenhouse gas emissions from US operations and use Green-e certified renewable energy. In 2007, Shaklee became the first consumer products company to offset 100% of its greenhouse gas emissions through the EPA Climate Leader's program and use 100% Green Power.

RECs

Shaklee purchased renewable energy credits (RECs) from a wind energy facility located in Kansas to offset electricity use for two calendar years. Previously, Shaklee's RECs came from an Oklahoma wind project and the Hancock Wind Energy Center, home to 148 different 660-kilowatt turbines with a total capacity of 98 megawatts – enough electricity to power approximately 33,000 US homes. Another benefit of this wind farm is that the land remains in agricultural use while the turbines are in operation, using the same amount of land for multiple uses and benefits. Most recently, Shaklee has continued to purchase Green-e certified 100% renewable wind for our renewable energy credits.

Fuel Conversion

Portland Public Schools

Portland Public Schools had about 200 steam generating boilers which were not cost effective. Shaklee helped fund a project to switch boilers in the Portland schools from oil burners to standard gas burners, which increases efficiency. The retrofit lowered carbon emissions and also reduced energy costs for the school district.

San Bernardino County School Buses

The majority of school children in the United States travel to school each day riding in school buses run on traditional petroleum-based diesel fuel. These buses expose children and others in the community to dangerous pollutants that are harmful to their health. Shaklee supported a project to convert school buses in San Bernardino County, California from petroleum-based diesel fuel to biodiesel fuel made from vegetable oil, a renewal source. The retrofit not only decreased greenhouse gas emissions, but it also reduced tailpipe emissions of pollutants that can aggravate asthma in children.

Offsets

At the Greater New Bedford landfill in Dartmouth, Massachusetts it was common practice to vent the methane from the landfill's decomposing organic matter directly into the atmosphere. In 2005, Commonwealth New Bedford Energy LLC, who operates the landfill, chose to invest in a project that captures the landfill methane and burns it to generate enough electricity to power approximately 1,500 US homes. This repurposes the methane from waste gas to energy for consumption and also allows the landfill to remain in operation. Shaklee supported this project monetarily through purchasing greenhouse gas offsets generated by the project. Landfill gas utilization, in contrast to many other energy sources, requires relatively small amounts of additional land resources. Through 2015, we have continued to utilize landfill gas offsets.

EPA Climate Leader

Shaklee is dedicated to acting as a catalyst for change and setting an example for environmental leadership.

The company will continue to work to offset 100 percent of CO2 generated annually by Shaklee operations in order to achieve a net zero impact on the environment.

2000: Shaklee is the first company in the world to obtain Climate Neutral™ certification and totally offset its CO2 emissions, resulting in a net zero impact on the environment.

2002: Shaklee received the Climate Protection Award from the EPA.

2006: Shaklee joined the EPA Climate Leader's program and pledges to maintain net zero US greenhouse gas emissions through 2009.

2007: Shaklee is the first consumer products company to offset 100% of CO2 emissions through the EPA Climate Leaders program and use 100% green power.

2008: Shaklee named to the Top 20 Retail Partner list by the EPA Green Power Partnership in recognition of being a top purchaser of green power.

2009: Roger Barnett is honored with a Clean Air Award by Breathe California in recognition of Shaklee Corporation's contributions to reducing global warming and improving air quality.

2009: Shaklee is honored with the Business Environmental Award for Sustainability from Acterra: Action for a Healthy Planet.

2009: Shaklee is honored with a Green Power Leadership Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in recognition of the company's commitment and contribution to helping advance the development of the nation's voluntary green power market.

2010: In September 2010, EPA announced the Climate Leaders Program was ending. We will continue to measure our carbon footprint and maintain net zero emissions.

Progress Towards Goal Completion

Shaklee was able to reduce natural gas use by 7% in company headquarters from 2013 to 2014.

Shaklee uses 100% green power for electricity.

Between 2006 and 2008, Shaklee planted 1,000,000 trees as part of its Million Trees campaign.

EPA Green Power

Shaklee is the first consumer products company to offset 100% of its greenhouse gas emissions through the EPA climate leaders program and use 100% green power.

Electricity generation is one of the leading causes of industrial air pollution in the U.S. Most of our electricity comes from burning fossil fuels, which produces carbon dioxide.

Electricity generation is responsible for:

38% of the nation’s carbon dioxide (CO2), one of six greenhouse gases and a major contributor to climate change. Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned. Climate change is a serious environmental threat that may contribute to coastal flooding, more frequent and extreme heat waves, more intense droughts, an increase in the number of storms, and the increased spread of infectious diseases.

66% of the nation’s sulfur dioxide (SO2). When sulfur dioxide is combined with rain water it creates acid rain, which damages the foliage of forests, crops, and other plants, and eventually can kill the plants. It also acidifies rivers and lakes causing them to be biologically “dead.”

About Green Power

Green-e Energy is the nation’s leading independent certification and verification program for renewable energy. This voluntary consumer-protection program verifies superior, certified renewable energy options offered by utilities and marketers in the retail market. Renewable resources of energy include wind power, solar photovoltaic and solar thermal power, certain types of hydropower, geothermal, waste biomass fuels used to generate electricity, and ocean thermal, wave and tidal power. Green power sources produce electricity with an environmental profile superior to conventional power technologies and produce no anthropogenic (human caused) greenhouse gas emissions.

Shaklee purchased 8 million kilowatt-hours of Green-e certified renewable energy in the form of national wind power to offset 100% of Shaklee’s greenhouse gas emissions from purchased electricity.

In 2009 and each year since, the US Environmental Protection Agency honored Shaklee with a Green Power Leadership Award in recognition of the company’s commitment and contribution to helping advance the development of the nation’s voluntary green power market.

Shaklee Corporation Nutrition Research Grants

The Shaklee Grant Program for Brain Health Research

Within the Shaklee Grants Program, there is a newly established program with targeted funding directed towards research on the role of dietary supplements in supporting brain health. The application procedure is identical to that for the main grants program.

Request for Proposals (RFP) The first round of submissions was completed December 15, 2014. The date for the next round of proposals has not been set; however, requests for test materials only may be submitted at any time.

As with all Shaklee grants, animal studies will not be considered, and university or non-profit research institution overheads/indirect costs are not included. Investigators who have secured funding elsewhere and are requesting from Shaklee only marketed product, with or without a matching placebo, can submit proposals at any time.

Study questions most likely to receive funding under this program will involve evaluation of nutritional ingredients or ingredient combinations suitable for use in dietary supplements for either acute (e.g., short-term memory, concentration, reaction time) and/or long-term improvements to or maintenance of cognitive function in healthy adults. Because dietary supplements cannot make disease-related claims, proposals that involve diseased populations are less likely to receive funding; requests for donation of test materials only are more likely to be supported in such instances.

If you are interested in exploring this funding opportunity, please contact grants@shaklee.com for further information.

Requests for General Proposals

You are invited to submit a proposal on research related to any of our nutritional products for consideration by our Scientific Review Committee. Shaklee research grants provide funding and/or products in support of health research activities that involve nutrition, particularly those using dietary supplements.
